“Articles on Palmer Report and Daily News Bin contain deliberately misleading headlines. Those headlines and the claims made in the articles tend not to be supported by the sources cited in the article. So, they are opinion pieces, not news articles. This would be fine if they were clearly labeled as editorial content, but they aren’t."

"There’s no indication that an editorial process in place, nor does Palmer appear to independently gather facts from primary sources. I’m not saying he doesn’t have an editorial process, but rather there is no evidence of one. To illustrate this point, compare the “Facts about Daily News Bin� to NPR’s ethics and standards."

"Social proof is not evidence of quality or value. It is not evidence of anything other than “I wrote a thing and someone clicked and shared it.� Palmer is masterful at creating clickbait-type headlines and building communities – which lead to the social proof he points to as evidence of his credibility. Having articles shared by political figures, celebrities, and other news sites is evidence of nothing but the share itself. Again, all of this would be fine if he were honest about who he is – a political blogger.�

This article is one illustration why so many people find so many
liberals annoying.

Of course Bill Palmer is a political blogger. He calls himself a
journalist but the definition of journalist is loose:

"a person who writes for newspapers, magazines, or news websites or
prepares news to be broadcast."

You could even call him an editorialist or a polemicist.

There are many kinds of journalism beside NPR's.
